On the spring solistice of 1975, Blake and Haworth founded the Brotherhood of Ruralists with fellow artists Ann and Graham Arnold, David Inshaw and Annie and Graham Ovenden.  \n\nBlake said of the Ruralist mission: \r\nSimply, our aims are the continuation of a certain kind of English painting; we admire Samuel Palmer, Stanley Spencer, Thomas Hardy, Elgar, cricket, English Landscape, the Pre-Raphaelites, etc… Our aims are to paint about love, beauty, joy, sentiment and magic. We still believe in painting with oil paint on canvas, putting the picture in the frame and hopefully, that someone will like it, buy it and hang it on their wall to enjoy it.\n\r\nBlake’s Ruralist paintings are dominated by literary subjects drawn from English literature, particularly the works of William Shakespeare and Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.\r\n","physicalDescription":"Screenprint on white paper with crinkled edges, signed and numbered 3/100.  Text is printed along the bottom of the image with excerpts from the original manuscript, featuring the Humpty Dumpty scene with Alice wearing a pale dress and reaching up to the figure seated on a wall.  Toy-like houses and a skyline of tress make up the background.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Sir Peter Blake","id":"A2467"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Kelpra Studios","id":"A7119"},"association":{"text":"Printers","id":"x31107"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper","id":"AAT14109"}],"techniques":[{"text":"screenprint","id":"x36290"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Screenprint on white paper ","categories":[{"text":"Illustration","id":"THES48938"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2017JT8025"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLE","id":"THES49657"},"free":"","case":"MP","shelf":"307","box":"A"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"prints","id":"AAT41273"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1970-1","earliest":"1970-01-01","latest":"1971-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Acquired from Leslie Waddington Galleries Ltd, London in 1972","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"9.5","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"image","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"7.0125","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"image","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"This series of prints are from the suite made in 1970 illustrating 'Alice in Wonderland', reproducing watercolours made by the artist over about 2 years prior to printing.
